GIT tags are created to mark a specific point in git history and then deployed. But sometimes you might want to debug the deployed code and the best way is to create a new GIT branch from that tag.

In this tutorial, we will know the steps to create a new branch from a particular commit of commit history.

A new branch can be created with the ‘git checkout’ command with the ‘-b’ option and a new branch name as arguments. This will create a new branch from your current branch and also switch the branch to the new branch.

Git stash command is used to store changes that you don’t want to commit now and take you to the last commit of the branch. And later when you are ready you can come back to the same branch and reapply the stashed changes.

Git branch can be renamed with a simple command "git branch -m <new-name>", this will rename your current git branch name.

If you are a NEW DEVELOPER then these are 16 basic Git commands (WITH EXAMPLES) you should know.

Git repository can be downloaded or cloned with the "git clone" command with the path of the repository as an argument. This will clone the specified git repository folder in your current directory.

But sometimes we need to checkout a remote tag to our local. You can achieve this by fetching it from remote and checkout it as a branch on local.
